  1. Does anyone belong to a place that became unionized? How did it happen? We are not, but a hospital near by is attempting it. If you are, are the working conditions much better?

    Yes. If youre considering unionizing, shop around, interview several, and choose the one which will best represent you the way you want to be represented. For an example of how to start, check out:
